Combining both the cloud capabilities and cloud licenses, allows workload moves, as well as capacity between on - and off premises, enabling applications to be run where they’re run the best. ### **Protect data from core to cloud using memory encryption at the processor level designed to support end-to-end security across public and private clouds without impacting performance.** Today’s environments require always-on operations to support your business and the people who depend on it – COVID19 has shown this more than ever.  Traditional business continuity solutions alone are not enough; the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape requires focus on **cyber-resilience**: persistent, end-to-end security is the only way to reduce exposure to threats. Rather than simply focusing only on preventive controls, cyber resilience also focuses on corrective controls, such as having infrastructure and solutions in place to continue business operations. IBM Power E1080 is both the most secure and most reliable server in its class and Power10-processor based systems further extend the industry-leading security and reliability of the Power platform, with a focus on protecting applications and data in hybrid cloud environments. Power E1080 introduces significant innovations to: **1. Protect data** by making mechanisms such as encryption more consumable with minimal management setup and allows broad coverage with low performance impact. **2. Protect apps** with platform security and innovations designed to stay ahead of modern threats. Without strong platform security, all other system security measures are at risk. It ensures that the base system is hardened against tampering, continuously protects its integrity, and provides strong isolation among multi-tenant workloads. **3. Integrated Security Management**: Addresses the key challenge of ensuring correct configuration of the many security features across the stack, monitoring them, and reacting if unexpected changes are detected. Power10 processor-based systems are enhanced to simplify and integrate security management across the stack, reducing the likelihood of administrator errors. ### **Streamline insights and automation by running AI inferencing directly in core and leveraging Watson services in IBM Cloud.** If you have deployed AI models into production, you understand the importance of ensuring that application service level agreements (SLAs) are met. These AI models are increasingly becoming critical components of your business processes and downtime cannot be tolerated. To meet key performance indicators (KPIs), use cases such as real-time transaction scoring, real-time anomaly detection, and fraud and risk analytics require that models be executed efficiently. The IBM Power E1080 architecture was designed to assist with that journey bringing AI computational capabilities right into the general-purpose processor to run AI close to where the data resides. This allows to AI infusion directly into the core business applications and enterprise databases and enables running high performance AI securely and efficiently across operating environments - be it on Linux, AIX, or IBM i.
